Taste Worth Sharing: Chocolate Cake

As the world spins faster and faster, there can be a tension between the need for quick fixes and the need for quality ones. So, with the subject of food and entertaining, we've started a new feature called "Taste Worth Sharing."

So, here it goes: Please use this feature to share your own lessons, miracles and disasters in the effort to mine culinary taste worth sharing.

This week, a Cambridge-educated yoga instructor showed me the light with this incredible recipe for chocolate cake as part of a dinner party. The Orangette blog is one that she uses often, and has remedied the instructions only with the addition of a pinch of salt. The recipe calls for a handful of basic ingredients (primarily butter and chocolate), and can be thrown together in about 20 minutes. Top it off with a dollop of whipped cream, and what more could one desire?

It's perfect for a Friday night dinner party.
